This Makes me feel bad on so many levels

I really wish I could say that this is a major accomplishment for geekdom everywhere. I want to gush at how cool this is and that my inner child is geeking out and loving all 3 of these images. I really wish I could type these things and more and be honest about it. If I really felt that way I could live with the shame of knowing that I would receive endless harassment from both my girlfriend, friends, online friends, and strangers alike and be secure in the fact that it’s still cool dammit! … But really this one makes even me cringe. If it wasn’t Battlestar Galactica related and from another sci-fi franchise I wouldn’t even be posting it. If I wasn’t still addicted to a show that is now long over there would be something else here today. Unfortunately I have to, with shame, show off this latest Battlestar find and hope you cringe with me in the horror of what has been created based off of such an amazing show.

Battlestar Galactica Composer Bear McCreary plays with Katee Sackhoff “All Along The Watchtower”

OK this is just epic for anyone who followed the series you know the scene this is starting with and already love the music Bear has put together. So here the composer gets to play with Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) and really would have been awesome to see. I’ll do a quick post of what was said on the youtube’s info for the video.

This is exclusive footage that I shot at the Grand Performances Series in Downtown Los Angeles.

Note from Bear McCreary: “Kara Thrace herself, Katee Sackhoff, joined me on stage at the grand piano to play Kara Remembers I played the left hand part, and she plucked out the Final Four Theme, just as she did in the climax of Someone to Watch Over Me. Once we had the Final Four Theme going on the piano, the band snuck in, building to Heeding the Call and finally All Along the Watchtower.

Battlestar Coffee Mug? Yes Please!

(Click on the image for the full size.)

This has to single offhandedly be one of the greatest things that Split Reason has come out with so far. On a side note it’s by one of the web comics they do shirts and other things for. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE Battlestar Galactics fan and this fun take on Starbuck’s name being used as both the character and the coffee giant puts a smile on my face.

Available at Split Reason.

Battlestar Galactica REBOOT To Happen. Frak.

You may or may not know this but I find Battlestar Galactica to be some of, if not the best science fiction to come out in years. Both standing by itself, as a TV show, or compared to movies. I’ve been following the show since Season 1 and have watched the characters evolve through an epic tale of… well there are so many issues touched upon. Religion, Spirituality, The Human Soul, Racism, Torture, Growing Up, Family, Love, Lust, Hatred,LIFE.

At any rate. You would think that hearing about more BSG would be good? Of course it would. IF IT WASN’T BEING RESTARTED. Bryan Singer was a god with X-Men 1+2. As far as reboots go? Superman was very disappointing to a LOT of people. Even that not being the case? It’s the cast and story we were JUST told that made BSG such a wonderful universe. Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer(yum,) Grace Park, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Hogan, Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh Penikett, Donnelly Rhodes, Michael Trucco, Richard Hatch, Kate Vernon- without these actors and the rest of the cast there is NO movie to be made.

Whoever thought this was a good idea should honestly be shot. I’m not exaggerating. I take my entertainment seriously and whoever decided restarting what has become such an amazing show as a movie isn’t worth breathing the same air as me. Frak you! So say we all!

Mini Battlestar Galactica Characters Coming Soon!

I know if you follow my life at all you know I’m an addict when it comes to Battlestar Galactica. Even the ending that so many complained about I felt did the series proper justice. These 2 toys coming out are just absolutely amazing. These 2 6-inch tall characters are absolutely amazing and aside from the price tag a must buy! Who knows, I might end up caving and order them when they are actually for sale.
